European Union (Amendment) Bill

I have read the hon. Gentleman's intervention yesterday. I was rather struck that the Minister did not answer his question, saying simply:"““It is clear—we are precise about this—that we responded to concerns that he raised. He has been fair enough to observe that in another place.””—[Official Report, 26 February 2008; Vol. 472, c. 938.]" However, he did not go on to explain why the Government had done so. That is what I hope the Minister will explain this afternoon.
